Plot Summary:
Chinmi is a young Chinese boy devoted to martial arts training. Word of his skill reaches the kung-fu masters at the famous Dailin temple who invite him to study with them. Through his own dedication and the guidance of his teachers, Chinmi becomes one of the top students at the temple. Eventually the time comes for him to leave Dailin and make a pilgrimage. On his journey he faces a number of dangers that test his skills, but he also meets many people who inspire him in different ways. A chastened but determined Chinmi returns to Dailin for advanced training. But soon his skills are needed again—the Mongol hordes are nearing the temple.
In the 1st saga, Chinmi joins the Dairin Temple and learns kung-fu, while having various adventures and helping many people. Chinmi learns to fight with the staff, and learns advanced techniques from different masters. Chinmi helps defeat the Black Flame, a notorious and powerful bandit army that attacks the nearby village. Chinmi is promoted to instructor at the Dairin Temple. In the last saga, Chinmi prevents the assassination of the Chinese Emperor.
